    About the Book

    Edit

    Discover the Beauty of Imperfection- Through Your Lens and Your Life.

    Imperfection is no longer something to hide, but something to celebrate.

    In The Quiet Lens, fine art photographer Joshua Gensetsu Smith, PhD, invites you to explore wabi-sabi photography, a Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity. This mindful photography guide helps you see the world differently- through the cracks in the pavement, the peeling paint on an abandoned wall, and the fleeting light that transforms an ordinary moment into something extraordinary.

    A Photography Book Like No Other

    More than just a book on taking pictures, The Quiet Lens is a guide to slow living, deep seeing, and creative storytelling. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned photographer, this book will inspire you to:

    - Capture the poetry of time- Learn to photograph the transient beauty of life’s fleeting moments.

    - Embrace imperfection- Find inspiration in natural wear, aging textures, and organic asymmetry.

    - Develop a mindful creative process- Slow down, notice more, and connect with your surroundings.

    - Master Japanese aesthetics in photography- Discover wabi-sabi, ma (negative space), yugen (mystery), and shibui (understated beauty).

    Who This Book is For

    - Photographers and artists looking for a fresh perspective beyond technical perfection.

    - Zen and mindfulness seekers drawn to simplicity, stillness, and presence.

    - Lovers of Japanese culture interested in traditional aesthetics and philosophy.

    - Creative souls who want to rediscover inspiration in the ordinary.

    With stunning imagery, personal insights, and actionable exercises, The Quiet Lens will transform not just your photography- but the way you see the world.
